------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-11-27 17:32 ------- The same machine exhibits some other cstate-related behavior which my hunches tell me is related to this issue. A bug with timing occured in an earlier kernel version that caused the CPU usage to be misreported, and the timing of the X beep to become erratic. This was exasperated by entering echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq And was fixed by setting max_cstate to 1. It was fixed in a later kernel. This , I thing, is the same bug: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/30557 Recently I have started using vmware and noticed it also has timing problems, and these problems are also fixed by setting max_cstate to 1. As stated before, however, changing max_cstate doesn't affect power consumption noticeably. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
